Arsenal’s pursuit of Ezri Konsa could have a major knock-on effect for Ben White, with Everton ready to move for the Gunners defender if Mikel Arteta lands his preferred defensive target.

Carrick's strong start to life in the United dugout has led to a groundswell of optimisim among fans that he can oversee the club's first league title since Sir Alex Ferguson's departure.

Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola says his side "needed" a clean sheet in their 2-0 friendly win over Como but warned they "need training" time in the weeks to come. Liverpool drew 0-0 with the Italian side in a behind-closed-doors friendly on Sunday and then won an encounter in front of fans at Anfield later in the day. "I think we need a little bit this feeling of finishing with a clean sheet, winning the game," Iraola said after the 2-0 success.
Today’s fluff lacks community spiritAfter looking a tad silly in the Community Shield loss to Arsenal, with not having a midfield being one problem for Enzo Maresca and the further blow of Rodri’s departure getting closer, Manchester City really need some new blood. A surprise name linked to them is Alexis Mac Allister of Liverpool, who may receive a bid in the coming days as City aim to ready themselves for the Premier League season.Ibrahim Mbaye has been linked with every club around, so it should come as no shock that Manchester United have held talks over signing the Paris Saint-Germain winger, who was left out of the matchday squad for the French Super Cup on Sunday.

Como boss and Chelsea hero Cesc Fabregas (Picture: Getty) Cesc Fabregas has expressed interest in a second Chelsea player after signing Trevor Chalobah for Como in a deal worth £30m. Chelsea put England centre-back Chalobah up for sale after signing £52m Maxence Lacroix from London rivals Crystal Palace. Chalobah made 151 appearances for boyhood club Chelsea, including 47 last season, and emerged as a key target for Como boss Fabregas. Fabregas briefly played alongside Chalobah at Stamford Bridge and welcomed the 27-year-old to Serie A side Como on a five-year deal.

Chalobah won five trophies during his 20-year spell at Chelsea, including the FA Cup in 2018 and the Europa Conference League in 2025. Chelsea failed to qualify for any European competition last season but Fabregas’ Como are preparing for a Champions League campaign after finishing fourth in Serie A. Discussing Chalobah’s move to Como, Fabregas said: ‘Trevoh is an important signing for us and a player who represents the level of ambition we have at this club. Trevoh Chalobah left Chelsea to join Como (Picture: Getty) ‘He is a leader who can raise the level of the team, and I am very happy that he has chosen Como.’ Fabregas has a good relationship with Chelsea bosses, having spent five years at Stamford Bridge as a player, winning two Premier League titles, the Europa League and two domestic cups. The Spanish football icon is hoping to use his connections at Chelsea to secure another summer signing and bring Liam Delap to Como. Liam Delap has been put up for sale by Chelsea (Picture: Getty) According to talkSPORT, Fabregas has sanctioned a move for Delap, who has been put up for sale by Chelsea after a poor first season in west London. Chelsea’s £30m signing of Delap was seen as a real coup but the 23-year-old only scored one Premier League goal for the Blues. Despite his struggles and the fact he was back-up to Chelsea No. 9 Joao Pedro, Chelsea hope to receive at least £40m for Delap amid long-term interest from Everton and Newcastle United. Xabi Alonso has sanctioned Delap’s exit (Picture: Reuters) Nottingham Forest have also reportedly joined the battle to sign Delap, who is believed to be hoping to stay in England if he is forced out of Chelsea. Chelsea bolstered Xabi Alonso’s attacking options over the summer with the signing of ex-England striker Danny Welbeck from Brighton. Nicolas Jackson has also returned from his season-long loan at Bayern Munich but could be offloaded as well as Delap, with Aston Villa admirers. Delap struggled at Chelsea last season (Picture: Getty) In an exclusive interview with Metro at the start of the summer, Danny Murphy advised Alonso to block Delap from leaving Chelsea. ‘I think any manager coming in has to give players a chance so I think he’ll want to look at them and see what they’ve got,’ Murphy said on behalf of NetBet football. ‘The other thing is that there might not be other clubs who want to take them with the wages they are on or pay the fee for them. ‘That is just the dynamic of football politics and transfers, you can easily say “they haven’t done very well let’s move them on”, but where to, and for how much? ‘Liam Delap is a young lad, and he brings some characteristics that Chelsea don’t have. He’s different to Joao Pedro so I think Xabi Alonso will give him a crack.’ Chelsea face west London rivals Fulham in their Premier League opener next Monday night. The Blues finished just 10th last season but have been tipped as dark horses for the title under former Liverpool and Real Madrid midfielder Alonso. For more stories like this, check our sport page.
